HARRISBURG, PA – The Corbett-Cawley campaign today thanked millionaire Secretary Tom Wolf’s False Start PA campaign for releasing a video earlier today of Governor Tom Corbett actually responding to questions. This is in stark contrast to millionaire Secretary Tom Wolf who has been dodging answering questions or providing any detail of his tax increase campaign platform.

“As the media knows all too well, Secretary Tom Wolf continues to dodge answering any questions that are asked of him," stated Corbett-Cawley Communications Director Chris Pack. "We hope that Secretary Tom Wolf studies False Start PA’s video that shows a textbook manner in which to respond to a question – by simply answering it.”

Earlier today, Secretary Wolf’s False Start PA released a video of what they described as a “heckler” asking the final question to Governor Tom Corbett at a Lehigh Valley press conference. Corbett responded with an actual, thoughtful response to his constituent’s disagreement. The Governor received a rousing round of applause for his thoughtful response and leadership on this important issue.

Wolf has continually denied that our state has a pension crisis. You can video his ongoing denial by clicking here. Below is background on Millionaire Secretary Tom Wolf’s ongoing refusal to answer questions or provide details on what he would do if he were the Governor of a state with 12.7 million people, as described by the media.

“The candidate has not provided details of the exemption or the rate, so it is difficult to say how it all might shake out.”


"...but without more precise details, it's impossible to assess its full effect.

“[Wolf] took some questions from the press, starting with some humor, while remaining non-committal on several issues.”

“He wouldn't discuss exactly what his budget would look like.”

“While Wolf acknowledges the need for reform, he was vague on his solution.”


“Wolf was less specific when asked about pension reform.”


“But he did not elaborate on how the state would balance its pension books.”


“Wolf said he was open to a number of solutions to strengthen the state pension system, although he did not specify them.”


“When asked about [Governor] Corbett’s ad on Wolf's denial of pension problems, Tom Wolf would not go into specifics on how he would fix the system.”


“When faced with inevitable PA budget questions, Wolf refused, despite insistent questioning, to state whether he would veto the budget that is currently sitting on Gov. Corbett’s desk.”


“Yet [Tom Wolf’s] campaign was silent on the new EPA rule, as a spokesman didn’t return a message seeking comment.”


“Corbett's Democratic opponent in November, Tom Wolf, offered a measured response...”


“The Wolf campaign did not respond to multiple requests for comment.”


“Wolf sidestepped a question about whether he supports another proposal pending as lawmakers rush to finish up before leaving Harrisburg for the summer…”


Reporter: “Do you have a specific plan?”
Wolf: “I am going to look at a lot of innovative plans.”


“He won the support of Democrats but he'll now have to get into more policy specifics to win over independent voters who want to know what he'd do in office.”


Reporter: “You don't like this budget, do you?
Wolf: "I don't."
Reporter: “But you're not prepared to say you would veto it?”
Wolf: “I'm prepared to say if I were governor and this were the choice I would be given, I would be very disappointed in myself.”


“The Wolf campaign, however, perhaps eager to allow the Republican infighting to continue unabated, declined to respond to the attack.”
